So, looking at the photos of the Broncos from Super Celebration East (like the photo above), they all have lots of mud kicked up on the side of the car, onto the door handles, and layered onto the rear fender. Is this solely the result of driving on a dirt road in the rain and mud, or should we expect a large amount of filth to be kicked up onto the vehicle in everyday street/highway driving conditions? It's one thing to require a car wash after off-roading, but how fast is the Bronco going to get dirty in normal driving conditions? Does anyone know?

And how much of the mud do we blame on the road conditions, tire style, fender design, etc.? Do you think adding the optional mud flaps would make a sufficient difference?

Hopefully more than this. I always feel I do a good job when the hood and roof are covered as well.

Watch one of the many Super Cel Ride-along videos. They weren’t pussyfooting around in these.

That's the best way to identify someone who likes "full send".

Our Black Bronco after a ride at Supercel East. Not your average drive.

If you’re using it right - very dirty.

Cleanest street tire money can buy. Many highway safety groups reccomend the 44x19.50r16 size. Trust me you will love the ride. Like your grandpas Caddy!
